This was a great review left by a client we did a home inspection for in Kent WA!"Thank you for working with us yesterday and specifically these fine points:

1. Your easy going and flexibility your clients because by a home is already complicated enough in itself and you know that.

2. Your thoroughness and unwilling to sacrifice integrity of the inspection for the shake of time. For some of us it's a decision of a lifetime.

3. Your dedication to your job and clients; knowledgeable, honest and friendly. People like you will go far in life and assist us along in the process.

4. And last but not least, thank for not asking for me to crawl down the crawlspace like my previous experience with another inspector. LOL! Your are fit, fast and extremely efficient at what you do. :)"

I find while inspecting in Renton Washington that it takes a lot of experience to inspect in this area. Renton, Bellevue, Seattle, and the surrounding areas of Washington have homes that take a trained eye to understand, also someone with a great deal of experience working on these homes with their own hands. Home inspectors come in all shapes and sizes, but only the best continue to inspect in Washington.

One of the things in the home inspection industry that still baffles me though, is why we don't do the home inspection FIRST? We go through all of this trouble to buy a home, and then all of a sudden we have a home inspection and everything goes back to the drawing board. The buyers are surprised (as well as the sellers), the agents scramble to fix things, and the mortgagor starts taking a more critical look at things. So consider getting a pre-listing home inspection to help remove some of the stress of a real estate transaction.

Also, please enjoy this month's home inspection photo below. It's moisture intrusion into the heating unit from the flue. With snow on it's way, make sure this doesn't happen to you...

Most people get a home inspection whenever they are buying a home, but fewer ever get a regular maintenance inspection by a professional home inspector. There are several benefits to having a regular maintenance inspection:

It's inexpensive: Most of the time a maintenance inspection is less costly than a full home inspection.

It' saves money: "If only I had seen that leak before it became a big problem!". We never want to find ourselves in that situation. Find problems before they occur. Paying for an inspection is much more cost effective than paying for repairs

It makes sense: We get our cars inspected every year, we go for a physical every year, and many other tasks on a yearly basis. So why would we not inspect one of our biggest purchases in life?
